I posted this request before but nobody answered, here we go again... I have a superbitmap window. An assembly lang. routine is operating directly on the bits of the bitmap. Now and then I copy the bitmap into the window with CopySBitMap ( I'm not sure about the routine name but its the one that updates the layer to match the bitmap) I discovered that it is necessary to LockLayer(mywindowslayer) and then catch MENUVERIFY|SIZEVERIFY. Heren lies the problem: How do I know when the MenuEvent is done and I can LockLayer safely? problem two: I want the window dragable, how do I DRAGVERIFY? anyhelp would be apppreciated. *** The dos bug. I discovered this one by accident and trashed a floppy. Try the following on a unimportant disk (RAD: with OldFS is a good choice) makedir A echo >B "" ; just to make a file. rename A B/A results in 'hiding' directory A someplace. then you can delete B but you end up with less blocks free than you began with. NOTE: when I did this to afloppy I count not delete B, but with RAD: i could. On the floppy it caused a loop in the directory and with RAD: it did not. **** petersog@frith.egr.msu.edu
